Abstract

Expansion of the city /county which is done in Indonesia in the last ten years had an impact on the change in Regulation on Spatial Plan (RTWR) of the city/ ounty. All of the changes need to be managed wisely by the central government and local government which are the result of democratic choice of the people, so that the new spatial plan should be built to meet the space requirements for housing, infrastructure and facilities of the city/county, prospective economic area, nature reserveconservation, cultural and green open space in proportion, according to the carrying capacity of sustainable tropical environment. Regarding to these problem, the local goverments have to get the responsibility for carrying out basic tasks of regional development planning cities/counties, including conducting review, change, and/or the (re)development of developments planning. In practice, the (re)development planning should be done with the consultants or academics from lancape architecture/architecture/planning laboratories of university, which are technically regulated in accordance with applicable legislation. The presence of experts are expected to provide input about the knowledge (technological knowhow)of city/ ounty spatial plan, allocation of space, the intensity of the room, the basic building coefficient, coefficient floor building, green base coefficient. In addition, an ecologist can provide insight about the environment, conservation of natural heritage and cultural lanscape, tropical forest conservation, microclimate planning, government legislation which is concerning to environmental policies, and others. Meanwhile, the philosophical basis of green cities, green politics, have to be promoted by experties to ensure the sustainable urban development. This means that the orientation of the development of the city/county focused on a balanced and harmonious progress between the poles of economic, social and cultural poles, and ecology poles. This theoretical concept can only work if the different stakeholders, including local politicians, pay attention, spirit, and power of a large investment for green politics in the long run, without constrained by short-term interests. Such green political movements should be infiltrated into the regulation on spatial plan of city/county.
